In languages always the speakers decide, what is correct. Usage rules.
Except if France and parts of Canada. They have an organization that comes
in the middle of the night and takes you away for torture and re-education
if you dare use a word without official sanction! <g>

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Strewnfield or Strewn Field?
Hello Jeff,
and I think one might argue that either could be "correct,"

Hehe, Google as a strong linguistic tool - let's check:
"strewn field" -> 20,900 hits
"strewnfield" -> 22,800 hits
Therefore I'd say both forms are in use and "correct".
